The youngsters that come to rehab at EWRC are provided with medical care if they need it, and properly raised and socialized to other foxes to ensure optimal health and timely release, setting them up for success back in the wild.  Currently they are young and require more time-intensive care than in just a few short weeks from now, when they will be "real" foxes; moved to outdoor enclosures, hiding during the daytime and becoming most active at night, playing, digging, burying their food, and preparing for release. 

Fox kits cost about $8 per day per each to feed, for about 8-12 weeks, and you can help by donating toward their care.

Healthy kits and foxes aren't relocated or brought to rehab "just because."  Although homeowners are sometimes unhappy with what the digging foxes do to their landscaping and because they are concerned about their dogs and cats, the law doesn't allow relocation of healthy animals.  The best thing we can do for the healthy fox and her babies right now is bring the pets inside for a few weeks, and let the mother raise and move her babies on her own.  Once they are gone, filling in the damage in the landscaping can safely happen.  Foxes can benefit humans because they provide effective rodent control, consuming mice and other rodents.

He is the broken leg fox that was seen hit by a car, rolled, etc. Car did not stop but Heather from Wheatridge did and picked him up even though he was flea infested and injured. Her and her mother - Donna - started calling for help around 10:30pm one night and finally got a hold of me. Only vet clinic who was open was Animal ER of Littleton who agreed to provide emergency care. Heather drove almost an hour and a half from Wheatridge to Littleton to ensure he got care that night. Dr. E took xrays and she determined he had head trama and a pretty severe broken leg. He was transferred to Deer Creek Animal hospital the following morning. Deer Creek doctor Dan Brod decided to perform surgery to repair the leg. The surgery took almost 5 hours. Todd is under orders to be kept quiet and immobile for one month and after a recheck appt will hopefully be given the OK to go play outside with the other fox. He does get to see and hear the other foxes when they are brought into kennels for the night.
